Borscht with Beets

Borscht is a classic. A rich, delicious bowl of borscht with sour cream — and lunch is served. One day, about 20 years into our marriage, my husband was eating borscht and admitted: "Back when I first ate your soups, I'd chase little bits of vermicelli around with my spoon — but now your borscht is just amazing!" It got me thinking about how I learned to make this beloved dish, and how I first tried a borscht recipe with beets. If it hadn't been for a friend (who still wouldn't share her own borscht recipe with me), I'd probably have stayed stuck at that level. Time passed, I got the hang of it, and now my borscht earns praise from family and guests alike. Now it's your turn to learn how to make borscht with beets.
